BlackandWhite Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 A good appointment and the best they could have hoped for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 not exactly an appointment to inspire hopes and dreams but should do fine. Ultimately wouldn't matter who they appoint if the guy isn't given the resources needed to get out of that division asap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 They'll not go down with Grayson. I would imagine he'll raid PNE to fill out the squad, wouldn't be surprised if the player who put in the cross and the goalscorer at our place are wearing that abomination of a strip next season.

John P Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I know it's not an inspiring appointment but, after getting turned down by McInnes, Grayson is about as good an appointment as they could get. I know a Preston fan at work who really rates him. In his 1st season with Preston they avoided relegation from League One, next season they were promoted from League One and then they have had two 11th place finishes in the Championship. That is a pretty good job. He also has promotions with Blackpool, Leeds and Huddersfield on his CV, so he is clearly a good manager. They've hired a manager who at the very least seems capable of making them into a solid unit, and if they can sign a goalscorer they'll probably have a good season with him, as much as that pains me to say it.

Scoot Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 The bitterness levels from when Grayson was appointed! https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/benitez-future-in-doubt-over-failure-to-secure-key-signings.1373945/page-39 If you believed them you'd think hes the worst manager on the planet. They keep saying "he took you down". They just keep repeating it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with everything other than them having a good season. We know well that the top half of the clubs in the championship are in reasonably good shape. They are far from it. The money they've brought in will disappear into a black hole.. they'd be needing to spend about 30 million to stand a chance of being promoted. I think mid table would be a result for them, but the knock on effect of another season out of the PL could have them in serious trouble (if finances are as bad as reported) Grayson is about as good as they could have hoped for. He could well reshape them into a solid team if given enough time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could well reshape them into a solid team if given enough time. I tend to agree with this, they need much more than a goalscorer, they need holes plugged everywhere. Grayson is a solid choice though, they've done very well to get him considering their position. The playoffs is their best hope, don't think they will be in with a shout of the automatic spots, but even achieving that kind of target will require major investment as their squad has been totally destroyed. Those that are left are either injury prone, not good enough, past their sell by date or all the above. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
